If you use a colored hardner (tinted, not clear) it is easier to gage the amounts. This is when you just mix up a small batch without measuring everything.
I use a red MEK that is messy stuff (it NEVER drys up or goes away) but I don't have to measure and it works well. |

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blink.gif) Not gonna happen. If the new stuff sets up properly then you are going to have junk underneath. Hog the crap out and start from scratch! Free advice? ALWAYS test your fiberglass epoxy before you get into the project. Mix a small batch (in the exact proportions) and make sure it sets up before you start slathering it on your 914! |

Hi Mike, I'll be around, putting my engine together. Andrew may or may not be here. He has a winter formal to go to tonight. I don't know what his schedule is. Feel free to stop by. Glad to have the company. Dan I'll PM my numbers in case you want to call. |

Thanks to everyone for the advice, It's been years since I did any fiberglass work. And that was on a wooden boat. It eventually separated into pieces almost leaving my BIL stranded at the bottom of the lake. He made it back to the dock with the 283 blasting under full throttle and water sloshing over the back of the boat. Must have been quite a site. I'm glad I wasn't there.

So Yes, Andrew needs all the good advice you can give on this matter. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) We both really appreciate it. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wub.gif) Dan |
